Plot

The gang decide to go up to Redstone Gulch to see if the legend that Charles L. Galloway, a student of Mr. Hodges, really did go up there after being given an extremely hard economics exam. Lafe, an Australian short-haired "dude" (and, according to Lola, a great kisser), claims he's a good hiker, so he takes them up to the Gulch, but gets lost. While Lola goes to find Lafe after he tries chasing ducks, the gang continue to search for the Gulch until they find a shack where he died. They find Charles Galloway's dog tag and decide to leave. Logan, however, wants to prove that Galloway really was at Redstone Gulch, so he steals the tag and puts it in Zoey's backpack. Unfortunately, this angers the ghost of Galloway, who creates an electrical storm.

While running from the storm, Zoey hurts her ankle. Chase takes her to the PCA nurse's office. Unfortunately, Galloway has followed them, and he turns Zoey's soup into worms. Eventually, Galloway attacks the room with full force (and, unsurprisingly, hurting Stacey Dillsen). Quinn tries using one of her Quinnventions to defeat Charles Galloway, but he only absorbs it.

Finally, Logan reveals what he did and they return the necklace to its original spot. They go to Mr. Hodges's class late, meaning they'll get a zero on the exam. The night before Galloway had come into the classroom and caused a lot of damage. When the gang tries to explain what happened, Hodges declares that Galloway never went to Redstone Gulch, but these words turn out to be a mistake, since Galloway leaves his resting place to attack him. Hodges declares that the exam is cancelled, much to everyone's relief.
